Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Health - Public Health, grade: 1, Egerton University (Public Health), language: English, abstract: Pregnancy and childbirth phenomena are considered to be among the most fundamental issues in one’s life. These are the early stages of life and, they seem to be delicate and difficult to manage. Currently, there are a number of sophisticated medical procedures, which appear to have eliminated pain and increased the safety of the mother and child. In the past, pregnancy and delivery were some of the most painful ordeals to women and, could result into death at times, owing to pregnancy complications. As a result, healthcare professionals in public and private healthcare facilities are currently administering heavy drug doses to pregnant mothers, especially during delivery to hasten labor and suppress pain. However, they have adopted this new approach to evade lawsuits related to the medical ethics, in case they perform delivery with fatal outcome. Alternatively, homeopathy has currently emerged as the most appropriate approach towards addressing the enormous health challenges associated with conventional medical procedures. Therefore, this research will give an overview of homeopathy and its relevance in pregnancy, childbirth and after parturition.
